Blue boxes, green jobs: Climate action that works for workers

CUPE 416 Season 2 Episode 5

The climate crisis isn’t just about science – it’s about people and how we live, work, and take care of our communities. In this episode, Rick Smith, President of the Canadian Climate Institute, joins us to explore the critical intersection of climate action and workers' rights. We discuss how Canada can transition to a sustainable economy without sacrificing jobs, emphasizing the role of unions in shaping environmental policy, and the need for early worker involvement in climate discussions.
